Christmas Week With The Family

Just posting a reminder that the store is closed allthis week so that we can enjoy some much neededfamily time with our family. (Sorry for the longread. I try to keep the store blog 99% businessbut I know many of you might worry as to whyI closed this week)

With all the duties of the store, Gerald's business and traveling, 2 kiddos in their early 20's, mom living a little over an hour away, Jonathan's upcoming wedding we seem to come and go alot and usually one of the group is missing.

Alsomany of you know that we lost my dad a few years ago right after Christmasand the last words I said at his side were "it's oklet go I will always be right here for mom". Many ofyou know how I absolutely adored my dad and thestories of how much he loved Christmas andthe fantasy like childhood memories all of whichmake this time of year very hard for all of us.

Thankfullymom has a great group of close friends and is very independent. However as life has gotten busierthis past year I have not been able to do as manythings as we used to. We used to go shopping,lunch,movies, antiquing etc every weekend. The other dayI realized I have only seen my mom ONE day (yes Iam hanging my head in shame as I type this) since late September and that was Thanksgiving which bothersme horribly. Many of you have met my mom on weekends at the store and know how close we are. I have been carrying alot of guilt the past few weeks over this...so with all thissaid the rest of the week is family week at the Moore household. The holidays are about Families andLoved Ones and I just feel I need to be withmy family this week as all daughters, mothers and sisters feel.

Gerald should be back in town this afternoon, Mom's coming, Jonathan and Laura will be staying with us even though they live in Lawrenceville, Jennifer and I am sure her friends will be in and out.

We have tons of food, new dvds, our annual new trivia and crazy board games so the fun begins.

I will be posting a little over the week withupdates on Donna Downey & Teresa Collins Events,new product coming in early January, upcomingWinter CHA info and even share a few pics ofthe family holiday craziness.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday fullof memories & love. For those travelingtravel safe!
